A new EGD Jackpot record!

A new record!

Last weekend at Playground, at the heart of the May Power Weekend, a new Jackpot record was set in our Electronic Gaming space. Guylaine Gregory was casually spinning one of our Quick Hit games, arguably the most popular title on the floor, when an avalanche of Quick Hit symbols surged to her screen. She had just won $37,532.50!

The record of the biggest EGD Jackpot won at Playground was previously owned by Franco S. and Eternal Lotus, another great title. On February 2, Franco pocketed $28,791.93, a 3-month-long record holder.

Last Saturday, however, Guylaine and her husband changed all that. At 10:42PM, Guylaine became the biggest EGD winner to date. Champagne and confetti ensued, and the couple posed in front of Playground’s steed. Congratulations!

MILLIONS North America is here!

For many players, the long Road to MILLIONS began in early December when the STEP satellite system kicked things off, starting qualifiers on their journey to the $10,300 Main Event of MILLIONS North America for as little as $90.

There are still lots of ways to qualify for the Main Event at a discount; between seven direct satellites scheduled from May 19 to May 22 and two Final Phases to come on partypoker, players have a variety of price points and formats to choose from. For more info on how to play your way to big events with huge prize pool guarantees, click here.

Although all eyes will be on the Main Event and it’s $5MILLION guaranteed prize pool, the festival counts a dozen events with buy-ins ranging from $220 to $25,300 so players of all bankrolls can take part in the festival. The most interesting buy-in/guarantee ratio lies within Event #2, the Montreal Open.

A legend gets his own signature whiskey
July 12, 2019 | Jôle Simard
Larry and his whiskey Our Director of Charitable Initiatives, Larry Robinson, was on site this week to autograph bottles of his limited-edition whisky. Created through a partnership between the Alumni Association and J.P. Wiser, this premium, collectible Canadian whisky was created with Larry’s playing style and numerous notable achievements in mind. Big and smooth, true to the Big Bird’s legacy as a dominant defenceman for the Montreal Canadiens, and aged in six barrels, one for each of the Stanley Cup rings Larry won with le tricolore, this whisky is something to behold. Unlike the first release, all future lineups will …

As the showdown revealed, the very last community card that was tabled by the dealer completed 4 of a kind for Mario and a royal flush for Martin, the highest possible hand in poker! Both players, after a few days that must have been spent making spending and saving plans, came by the club to claim their …
